As we were driving down the road, we caught sight of a thin, emaciated dog with a chain still on her neck. Despite her caution, we managed to approach her and noticed that her teats were swollen, clearly indicating that she was nursing her puppies.

Not only did we discover her puppies, but we also found five others who belonged to a different mother. All of them were weak and malnourished, but this mama dog was willing to sacrifice herself so that her babies could have enough to eat.

Sadly, the smallest and weakest puppy started having seizures upon arrival at the shelter. We suspected that it was due to an electrolytic imbalance, so we gave him dextrose orally. Although he could stand and walk, he was not eating. So, we decided to feed him slurry to ensure he received the nutrients he needed to thrive.
We are dedicated to ensuring that these dogs receive the care and support they need to recover and live full, healthy lives. This story of selflessness and resilience is a powerful reminder of the strength of the animal-human bond and the importance of compassion in our world.
Today, pets offer companionship, emotional support, reduced feelings of loneliness, and reduced stress levels. It also contributes to high self-esteem and positive emotions, especially for children. And although many people enjoy the company of their dog or cat and would never think of getting rid of their pet, consider it a family member.
